Chapter 523: Branch Leader (2/2)

”Young man, are you serious about wishing to work with this faction?” the branch leader asked while looking at Xue Wei. His eyes flashed. If this young man had more treasures than just this one herb, then cooperation would indeed benefit both of them.

Xue Wei glanced at the man and nodded his head. ”I took out just one random treasure; I have quite a few, so why don't we sit down somewhere and discuss what we can do to assist one another?”

The branch leader was surprised by his straightforward answer, but also thrilled. This was indeed an extremely beneficial thing to him.

When he appeared, the expression of the receptionist turned increasingly ugly, and fear began spreading in her heart.

However, she noticed that neither the branch leader, nor Xue Wei, paid her any attention, and thus she began calming down again. She was suddenly sure that no one could touch her, as she was from the Whispering Oak Inn.

Unfortunately, she had forgotten the inherent cruelty of ghosts. As soon as the branch leader and Xue Wei had finished agreeing on finding a room to discuss their future teamwork, he glanced at the receptionist.

”Harvest her,” he said. His voice was cold and full of murderous intent. Before the receptionist had time to comprehend the words entirely, she was grasped by two ghosts in black suits, who then dragged her away, amidst her screeches and yells.

Xue Wei looked at the woman with impassiveness. He did not pity her, nor did he feel that he should speak up for her. She had bad intentions towards him, so it was only natural that she paid the price.

While Xue Wei was willing to help those who assisted him, he would also repay every grievance back a hundredfold. He was not one to care about right or wrong, only about who he liked and who he did not like.

Seeing the unfeeling expression on Xue Wei's face, the branch leader could not help but praise him in his heart. Although this was a living being, his heart was as cold and ruthless as the ghosts.

”Well then, young man, please follow me into the conference room.”

Xue Wei nodded his head, and the four of them all went towards a room where no one could eavesdrop on their conversation.
